49ers’ Jed York comments for first time on insider-trading allegations

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:41:49 GMT

SANTA CLARA — Jed York, the San Francisco 49ers’ CEO, spoke before Saturday’s preseason game and downplayed insider-trading allegations that recently came to light.“It’s 18 months old. It’s a completely frivoulous lawsuit,” York said in a joint interview with this news organization and NBC Sports Bay Area.“I think they’re grasping at straw to bring this out publicly now.”Two lawsuits accuse York and others of financial improprieties regarding their work with Chegg Inc., a Santa Clara-based online education platform under fire for allegedly helping students cheat during the height of the pandemic. The lawsuits say York, specifically, made insider stock deals based on “nonpublic information,” demonstrating “his motive in facilitating and participating in the scheme.”“I’m proud of our work with Chegg, proud of my work on the board and with its scholarship program,” York added. “I have no doubt this will...

With Brandon Crawford ‘grinding’, SF Giants call up hot-hitting Casey Schmitt from Triple-A

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:41:49 GMT

ATLANTA — Stuck in a 1-for-28 slump, Brandon Crawford was out of the Giants lineup Saturday against the Braves, and manager Gabe Kapler said there’s a good chance he gives him another day off Sunday with left-hander Max Fried on the mound.In part, that’s why Casey Schmitt was rushing from the West Coast along with right-hander Sean Hjelle on Saturday.The pair each received early wake-up calls — 5:15 a.m. PT for Hjelle — but only Hjelle had made it to the ballpark with less than 2 hours until first pitch.Schmitt is likely to start at shortstop in the series finale Sunday with Crawford receiving a second straight day off, Kapler said. Hjelle gives them another arm with right-hander Ross Stripling (mid-back strain) placed on the 15-day injured list and Ryan Walker on the paternity list.While Crawford was short-spoken when asked about his recent struggles after striking out in all three of his at-bats in Friday’s loss (“I wish I knew the answer,” he said), ...

Legal scholars increasingly raise constitutional argument that Trump should be barred from presidency

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:41:49 GMT

Washington (CNN) — Prominent conservative legal scholars are increasingly raising a constitutional argument that 2024 Republican candidate Donald Trump should be barred from the presidency because of his actions to overturn the previous presidential election result.The latest salvo came Saturday in The Atlantic magazine, from liberal law professor Laurence Tribe and J. Michael Luttig, the former federal appellate judge and prominent conservative who’s become a strong critic of Trump’s actions after the election.Not all in the legal community agree – and what the scholars are proposing would need to be tested in court.Yet Luttig and Tribe’s writings capture a conversation about the Constitution and the 2021 insurrection that is likely to grow heading into the 2024 election season.They and others base their arguments on a reading of part of the 14th Amendment, a post-Civil War provision that excludes from future office anyone who, previously, as a sworn-in public official, “engaged in...
